Ep. 148 Life and The Unexpected Ways We Heal with Dr. Lisa Thompson

  1. Ep. 148 Life and The Unexpected Ways We Heal with Dr. Lisa Thompson Michele Simms 57:19

What would you do if your life changed in a single moment?

 

In this deeply emotional and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Lisa Thompson, a best-selling author, healer, and speaker, who shares her raw and powerful story of loss after discovering her husband had taken his own life, completely out of the blue.

 

We talk about the layers of Grief that come with sudden loss, the unanswered questions, and what it really looks like to rebuild when everything you thought your life would be is gone.

 

This conversation goes beyond traditional grief. Dr. Lisa shares how she processed Trauma, set boundaries with others during her healing, and began to find meaning again. We also touch on her spiritual experiences, including signs, intuition, and beliefs that may feel outside the norm—but at the heart of it all is a very human journey of Love, loss, and learning how to keep going.

 

This episode may feel different than others, but if you’ve ever faced grief, identity shifts, or starting over… there is something here for you.

 

Grief doesn’t come with a roadmap. There’s no perfect way to navigate it… only your way.

 

If this episode spoke to you, share it with someone who may need it. And as always, thank you for being here and finding the beauty… even in the mess.
